The Mariners have been busy this winter. After signing Josh Naylor and trading away Harry Ford, their most recent move was to get Cal Raleigh a new understudy now that Mitch Garver has returned to the open market. The front office still has plenty of work to do, however, and there are a couple of positions that many would expect them to reinforce heading into 2026.
Third base seemed like one of those positions. Since Eugenio Suárez returned to free agency, it was assumed that Seattle would be in market for a corner infielder who would add more pop to the lineup.
